Unfortunately Royal Marsden is a little to far for me as I live near Hull, childcare would be an issue too! :cry: Would of been great to meet you. I am feeling a little better, I too find my self snappy at the family, but not only that, I seem to have little patience for anybody at the moment! But I...

All taken on board and digested. I do have a Macmillan nurse and I think she has picked up on my low mood and is maybe going to recommend I see their counsellor/psychologist. She has also put me down for yoga. My ca19 levels went back up the 1000 they had lost from my last chemo so that was a punch ...

Hi people, I don't know if everybody goes through this? But I'm feeling kind of morbid, for example wondering how I can work out how much time I have left (which in reality I know we cant). I keep thinking will the end be quick, will all of a sudden I will go downhill really fast, or is not a slow p...

I am going to find the milk thistle and give it a go! This round 5 I have just suffered tiredness and really funny fingers! When I had mine delayed for two weeks I suffered more on round 4 so you could be right there! I don't think I want to have a break, I'm not sure. Are you up now? Sickness and n...

I third what Toodotty and Kate say, it gets better the more rounds you have, I've just had round 5 and am feeling ok with my usual symptoms. I think a lot of us keep a diary and that helps us track good and bad days so you can plan what you need to do and when, simple stuff like the shopping etc. An...

Wow, the no typical abated scar tissue sounds good! I hope mine come up similar when I have my scan on the 31st! I would love to try extra treatments, but I think the nanoknife you try is private yes? I would not be able to afford private treatment, and don't think there are any clinical trails out ...

Hi again, Toodotty is definitely right in getting the creon, it helps with the digestion of food, you can't reallynoverdose on it either. Say if I eat two weetabix I would take 3000 creon. Then I do not gate any pain or sickness after. I personally do not get on with any of the nutrition foods, bu I...

Are you on about her having the whipple operation? This is a huge operation, that's pretty much all I know, I think if she is only opting for palliative care at the moment she would be willing to go down that route. What has her oncologist/surgeon suggested? I am afraid i am all quite new to this to...

Wow great that means no tumours!I hope they let you try the nanoknife, I know if mine went away I'd be pushing for the same thing, but I'd have trouble raising the money going private!😔 I will look out for the milk thistle, but if tastes horrid I won't be able to drink it! Wish I could do a bit on e...

Well it was round 5 today and so far feeling o.k, even had a bit of home made lasagne my daughter made at school! Just to let you know they messes up my blood results that said my ca19 marker had gone down to 27......it was in fact 5030! Apparently the mistake was in the lab as I saw the print out o...

I hope so. I have a scan booked for 31st of Oct, then round 6 on 2nd Nov. They said the results will take a couple of weeks, but they are going to try and get them before that. I think they feel guilty about giving me a wrong blood report saying my ca19 was down to 27, when in fact it was 5030! This...

I wouldn't be able to do the gardening as dexterity and tingling won't allow it.....have trouble pegging out the washing!😂😂 I have cycle 5 on Wednesday...i always dread it now, seems like a vicious endless circle! As for hair, mine is so thin now it only just looks 'normal' .if you are taller than m...

Hi Fairy, No it is ok, you have not scared me, only this God awful disease does that! I wouldn't say I am scared, although moments of dread do go through your mind when you read others experiences. However equally so the words of stories also bring you comfort and hope. You were a star for your mum,...
